We always say that “choir is for everyone,” but is it? Think about that costs we pay for choir. If we add it all up – the music, the dues, the travel expenses, the costumes, the time – it’s a pretty big financial commitment for most people. And most likely every community chorus has lost a member or a potential member because that person couldn’t afford to join.
When working towards equity in our COMMUNITY choruses, the financial impact on our members is an important consideration. In order to make choir fully accessible for everyone, we need to start taking steps to make it more affordable.
